A forensic home inspection is a type of home inspection that goes beyond the basic evaluation of a property’s condition. It is a specialized investigation meant to identify hidden problems or damage that may not be readily apparent. Also called an investigative or system specific inspection, forensic home inspections can serve a variety of purposes, from verifying the findings of a previous inspection to uncovering the root cause of a problem or damage caused by various sources. This can include evidence of water damage, foundation cracks, structural issues, mold, and other hidden problems that may compromise the integrity of the property. The result of a forensic inspection can help you, the homeowners, buyers, and/or sellers make informed decisions based on an un-biased, independent inspection.
Our inspectors are trained and experienced with the latest tools and equipment to provide a thorough and detailed forensic home inspection. We use an array of professional tools and equipment to diagnose and isolate your issues including thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, HVAC gauges sets, combustion gas and refrigerant leak detectors, electrical multi-meters, and much more.
Each time you need a forensic home inspection, our inspectors will provide you with a written report documenting the processes we took to identify and isolate the issues, the issues found and the potential causes, and recommendations for industry professionals to follow up with the necessary repairs. We will include photographs to aid in documenting the issues to clearly convey the finding to you and the industry professionals.
